Alien Knights

Chapter 589 Fierce Fighting in the Forest (Part 1)

The addition of the war beast reinforcements undoubtedly gave a boost to the morale of the expeditionary force.

The launch of a general offensive, in Cumberland's view, has become possible.

After discussion among the army commanders, the time for the general attack was chosen at midnight after a light rain.

At one o'clock in the morning, there was a light mist in the forest, and the starlight was blocked by the tree crowns. Looking at the sky, it was still dark.

The 20,000 troops of the Dragon Kingdom Expeditionary Force were divided into more than a dozen columns and entered the forest at night.

Randall's sixth column was personally led by Crusader Commander Ackerman.

The knight who abandoned his war horse, led by the lizard man scouts, avoided many traps and quickly approached the nearest stronghold in the east.

"If we move forward another kilometer, we will be able to see our target." Lizardman Kellogg raised his head, looked at the position of the moon through the leaves, and turned back and said, "Looking at it, it's almost time."

Randall, who was wearing a keel, said while carefully paying attention to the honeycomb on his back: "There is no signal yet."

The werewolf Aldenan looked at the giant gray-furred wolf beside him, one person and one beast, their eyes facing each other.

Ardenan turned his head with difficulty and asked the beast controller Yoonela behind him: "Why does this guy look at me so...weirdly?"

Yoonella glanced at the giant gray-furred wolf behind her and said absently: "It has a crush on you."

"What did you say?!"

"It's a female, you're a male... it treats you as one of the same kind."

The corners of Aldenan's eyes twitched and he ducked to the side unconsciously.

The tauren Bulwer rubbed the battle ax in his hand, looked at Yoonela and said slowly: "It's your first time on the battlefield, are you nervous?"

Yoone pulled the limbs of the dragon bone parasite: "I have done a lot of training before coming here..."

"Training is one thing, actual combat is another." Bulwer tried the edge of the tomahawk and nodded with satisfaction: "The fastest way to adapt to war is to kill an enemy with your own hands."

Standing in the shade of the big tree, Randall touched the appointment letter placed on his heart and said softly: "As long as this battle is won, the Kingdom's expeditionary force will be able to open the way to Taylor City, and we will also You can continue the mission assigned by the Holy King."

The orc Carroll tightened the handle on the back of the heavy shield and said to Randall: "Once the passage is opened, there will definitely be a gap in the defense around Taylor City."

"Yes, the defeat of the church army will trigger chaos around Taylor City. We can take this opportunity to sneak through the checkpoints and deploy defenses around the city, but our speed must be fast."

Carroll turned his head and glanced back and said to himself: "I hope everything goes well."

At this moment, Yoonela suddenly said to Randall: "I got the news, other columns have started to take action!"

The latter was doubtful: "Are you sure? Why hasn't there been any movement in my hive?"

"Because the contact method I use is not infrasound waves, but radio waves, so..."

Before Ionella finished speaking, the hive on Randall's back suddenly vibrated.

Listening to the same buzzing sound coming from the keels of the knights around him, Randall raised his sword and shield and said to Ackerman: "Ionella is right, it's time to act."

Ackerman took an arrow out of the quiver, whistled behind him, kicked his legs, and jumped forward through the tree trunk.

After several leaps, Ackerman arrived at the edge of the forest less than a hundred meters away from the enemy's stronghold.

The moon had just passed its zenith. In this stronghold of the Church Alliance, except for a few people who were on sentry duty, most of the people were soundly asleep in the military camp.

With the barely audible sound of a bowstring, a sharp arrow shot out from the dense tree canopy and flew towards the tall watchtower on the edge of the stronghold.

With a soft popping sound, the sharp arrow first pierced the throat of one sentry, and with unabated momentum, it accurately pierced the back of the head of another sentry.

After clearing out the two sentries on the outermost watchtower, Ackerman poked his head out from the canopy and looked at the lizardman Kellogg not far away, using mimicry to climb up to the second watchtower quietly. He used his dagger to kill two enemy sentries, eliminating the threat on the other side.

Ackerman nodded and gestured towards Randall under the tree.

Randall lowered his body, and the hive on his back issued one command after another.

One hundred and forty knights were in front, more than 900 werewolves, orcs, and tauren were in the middle, and nearly a hundred elves were behind, slowly approaching the enemy camp.

The long-extinguished bonfire in the center of the enemy camp was still emitting curls of green smoke; the snores of the sleeping soldiers could be clearly heard through the tents.

Randall made a gesture, and Aldenan, who understood it well, led dozens of his compatriots, stretched out their claws, bent their limbs on the ground, and started to kill the soldiers who were watching the night around the tents.

These dozing soldiers standing at the door of the camp often had their throats slit by sharp claws before they saw what was in front of them, and fell into a pool of their own blood with their eyes wide open.

Looking at the completely defenseless military camp, Randall tapped the shield with his long sword and said behind him: "Attack."

The orcs waved their flails and roared loudly as they rushed into the enemy camp, smashing the heads of one enemy after another like a watermelon.

The tauren raised his giant axe, chopped down the wooden pillars of the tent, and then used his huge hooves to trample to death one after another of the howling human figures.

The elves gathered fire, ice, and lightning in their hands and blocked all access to the camp, so that any enemy who wanted to escape from here would have to face death.

"For the glory of the Dragon God!"

Bulwer grabbed two enemies who didn't even have time to put on their armor, slammed them face to face, and threw the two corpses to the ground after a burst of red and white.

An enemy took advantage of others being unprepared, picked up the musket from the weapons rack, hid behind the wooden box, hurriedly loaded the gunpowder, and then pointed the gun at the minotaur.

Before he could pull the trigger, a giant wolf several meters long suddenly jumped on the top of the wooden box, looking at him coldly with its mouth wide open.

"monster……"

He only had time to say this word, and in the next second, his neck was bitten into two ends by the giant wolf.

Bulwer, who heard the noise, turned around, first looked at the musketeer who was bitten by the giant wolf, and then looked at the pale beast controller not far away, laughed and said: "Human boy! Well done! "

He shot an arrow at an enemy soldier who got on his horse and wanted to escape the camp. Amidst the screams and the sound of falling to the ground, Ackerman put away his bow and arrow, looked at the messy stronghold around him and said: "It's almost over here. ”

Randall took off his helmet, pushed aside the parasite's limbs, wiped the blood from his face, looked to the east and said, "We must rush to the enemy's next stronghold immediately, the sooner the better."

Ackerman nodded: "The movement here will definitely alert the enemy, and the next battle may not be so easy..."
